Re: Firefox 3.5

Long story short, most users should use the official distro packages, and the geeky ones, well, we can't spend one day without breaking something ... they say "Broken?" We say "Bring it on!" :P

Which can be paraphrased as: "If it ain't broke... it will be".

Hah! Yeah, I figured it is generally best to stick with the repo packages. I depend on my computer for 10-12 hours of work daily so I can't be breakin' stuff.

(Unless it is on my second laptop. The "Macbook Playground")

and if it doesn't brake for it self or by any other means we will brake everything around it so it will eventually brake 8)

This would be awesome on a shirt. I will have to see if I can lay something out that looks awesome.

From the Un-authorized Linux Dictionary of Hidden Meaning:

dist[roy]-upgrade (v. \di-ˈstrȯi-uhp-grād) 1. to remove the quality, value, effectiveness, or performance of the current operating system.

This too, needs to be a shirt. I will try to keep you guys posted as to if I do follow through on this idea.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but whenever I've done a dist-upgrade for family and friends on their computers over the past year and a half, everything just worked. Except, there was on issue once with the HP driver for an ancient all-in-printer. Or, maybe it is because they don't geek tweak their computers.

I am, and have been, a firm believer that if one starts with a "clean" system, and doesn't go mucking about in it's innards, that one will continue to have a working system, even with dist-upgrades. It's important to understand, that dist-upgrades are designed to work (generally/usually/mostly) with a system that hasn't been (severely) modified by the user.

Re: Firefox 3.5

Just to add my 2 cts, I' ve always upgraded distributions. I did it back in the day with mandrake->iva (even though everyone and their mother would swear that you needed a clean install), and then with Kubuntu. I did find a gitch or two, but it's a lot better than a clean install IMHO. At least, let me say this, at least for _my_ needs. This is in huge contrast with Windows, which is universally admitted to degrade very quickly in time (as mentioned by one of you folks above, was it GreyGeek?)
